200+ pages into this, Does it get good or should I drop it?
>>24766102It’s a slog all the way through and at the end he cries about some overly emotional whore.
>>24766174Should I read another Dostoevsky book or are they all the same?
>>24766102If books don't capture me enough that I read them in one go I just drop them. And even like half of the ones I do finish turn out to be pretty meh in the end.
>>24766102Chuck it. Dostoevsky believed in redemption through suffering, starting with his readers.
It's Dostoevsky's best novel. Take that however you may.
>>24766177I vowed never to read fiction after I finished C&P, so I don’t know. I’m currently reading the first volume of Churchill’s War by David Irving alongside the Ars Notoria Matthias Castle translation.

>>24766370That's like deciding not to eat food after eating a burnt pizza.
2/10 for meToo much punishment; not enough crime.
Just drop it and read for fun. Readimg shouldn't be challenging you should just be able to turn your brain off and let the world and its characters and story wash over you without a thought. I recommend Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Chronicles of Narnia or Eragorn. If you ABSOLUTELY MUST read something difficult you can go with The Lord of the Rings. You should start with The Hobbit though. LOTR literally has poetry in it. If that's not enough for you I guess you can give The Stormlight Archive a try, but that's like a God mode S tier Elden Ring type of challenge. Each book is LITERALLY 1000 pages. WTH!
>>24766490Without sarcasm, Why is C&P so good?I can never express a dislike for a book without getting snarky replies telling me I'm a philistine
>>24766500I've never read it.
>>24766500it's a thriller. if you like serial killer movies you'd probably like C&P
